Best Friends Forever

Chapter 51: I Won't Give Up

Matt's POV:
I wake up the next day, feeling so low. It wasn't the fact that sleep didn't come to me it was the fact that I was thinking about my brother. I walk to the studio and I see Vanessa working on a beautiful song.
Vanessa's POV:
I usher Matt inside the studio i'm in the booth and I sing.
When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, I'm still looking up.
Well, I won't give up on us
God knows i'm tough enough
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Matt saves the song and leaves the studio. An hour later, Matt comes back to the studio and he sing a song.
Fresh cut grass, one cold beer.
Thank the Lord I am here and now, here and now.
Summer days, favorite park.
Bless your soul, we are here and now, here and now.
I'm wide awake, so what's the point of dreaming when your life is great?
Celebrate the feeling, celebrate the feeling.
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay.
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh.
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay.
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh.
We're screaming out, I believe we'll be okay.
Sun kissed skin on my lips.
Thank the Lord I am here and now, here and now.
Fireflies after dark.
Bless your soul, we are here and now, here and now.
I'm wide awake, so what's the point of dreaming when your life is great?
Celebrate the feeling, celebrate the feeling.
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay.
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh.
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay.
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh.
We're screaming out, I believe we'll be okay.
We'll be okay.
We'll be okay.
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay.
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay.
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh.
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay.
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh.
We're screaming out, I believe we'll be okay.
After the song gets saved, Matt and I enjoy the silence. A few hours later, the doorbell rings. It's the roster! Matt and I exchange looks but they come in.
I see all the superstars and divas and they share the same glum look.
Lita's POV:
I hug Matt feeling sorry for him. In the studio, I hear a song.
You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close
So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far we are so close
How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We're so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let's go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far
The song is so beautiful.
Vanessa's POV:
Matt and I linger in the studio before we leave to see the roster. Matt gives the room assignments and we go to sleep in the studio.
